Rebellion Redefined

Old lyrics

Like heroin ripping through my veins,
you’ve broken me, I’ll never be the same.
Your voice inside my mind, you won’t leave me,
you’re with me all the time.
and I can’t contain my pain,
you’re driving me insane. 

ooooold lyrics I wrote. 

God has officially ROCKED my world tonight.

Tonight at ladies’ bible study with my college church group, I had asked for the ladies to pray for me, an unspoken prayer request. I had put myself in a position with a guy that I knew fully that was not in God’s plan for me and I didn’t want to be the one to end the “relationship,” because I hate hurting people. I’m not gonna say why I knew it wasn’t God’s plan, but it just wasn’t…and I knew without a doubt. I was in emotional turmoil because of it. 

So basically throughout the bible study, we were talking about Esther and how God used her and what she was going through and He spoke to me in a way that is just insane. I had turned off my phone because friends were texting me and I was trying to focus…

So at the end of the bible study, I turned my phone back on after I walked outside…and lo and behold, there was a text from the guy saying that we should specifically be friends…

It LITERALLY made me stop in my tracks and head back inside and just gush to Christina about how God answered the prayer…and how He is using my mistakes and sins that I’ve made out of that “relationship” for His glory. He opened my eyes and “smacked me upside the head,” so to speak.  

God is just awesome…no other words. 

What hurts the most about this man I see?
When I open my eyes, he’s not the man I wish to see looking back at me.
And how do I cope with my heart in the abyss?
The same heart that used to flutter with bliss.
And whom to I wish to hold?
The same one who made my heart grow cold.
When shall I ever be free?
When my love finally comes back to me.  

Magic by Gabriel Gadfly

“Imagine for a second that the world you live in is magic.
Not your hocus-pocus, wave-your-wand-magic​,
but magic like the coffee tables you sit at beat
with the hearts of the trees they were made from.
That the coffee and beer in your mouths
is feeding you life straight off the tongues
of the plants they were made from.
That every heart beating in this room
is beating in time to every heart in this room
and this poem.

Some of you will go home with some of you tonight
and some of you will go home to empty rooms
that some of you will wish you had gone home to:
go home to them.

Your empty rooms and the rooms you fill
always have at least one poem in them.
There is a poem in the pretty girl eyes in the front row
and there is a poem in the old man’s cigarette on the porch
and there is a poem in the coffee girl’s hands.
There is a poem in your hands, if you’ll look for it

Imagine for a second that the world you live in is magic, because it is.
Because when you go home to your empty rooms
or to the rooms you fill you each take some of each of you with you,
if you want it.

If you want it,
you can take some of the pretty girl’s poem
and you can take some of the old man’s poem
and you can take some of the coffee girl’s poem
and you can take some of mine.

Tonight, when I go home, my room will be empty,
and I will fill it with your poems.
I will fill it with the life the beer and coffee have fed you.
I will fill it with the heartbeats the tables you sit at
have beat against your hands.
I will fill it with the kisses that some of you will give to some of you
and I will fill it with the kisses that some of you
will wish you had been kissed with.
There is a poem shaking the air your ears are listening to.
Listen to it. Go home and look into eyes you’ve never looked into.
Hold a hand you’ve never held.
Touch flesh you’ve never been touched by.
Open your mouths and fill yourselves up
with every poem in every person you encounter tonight.
I’ll do the same.
The world you live in?
It’s magic.”

Lecrae is AWESOME!!!!

I know a lot of people out there scared they gone die
Couple of em thinking they’ll be livin in the sky
But while I’m here livin man I gotta ask why, what am here fo I gotta figure out
Waste my life
No I gotta make it count
If Christ is real then what am I gone do about
All of the things in Luke 12:15 down to 21
You really oughta go and check it out
Paul said if Christ ain’t resurrect then we wasted our lives
Well that implies that our life’s built around Jesus being alive
Everyday I’m living tryin show the world why
Christ is more than everything you’ll ever try
Better than pretty women and sinning and living to get a minute of any women and men that you admire
Ain’t no lie

We created for Him
Outta the dust he made us for Him
Elects us and he saves us for Him
Jesus comes and raises for Him
Magnify the Father why bother with something lesser
He made us so we could bless Him and to the world we confess him
Resurrects him
So I know I got life
Matter fact better man I know I got Christ
If you don’t’ see His ways in my days and nights
You can hit my brakes you can stop my lights
Man I lost my rights
I lost my life
Forget the money cars and toss that ice
The cost is Christ
And they could never offer me anything on the planet that’ll cost that price.

Armed and dangerous
So the devil jus can’t handle us
Christian youth them a stand wid us
Livin’ n driven
Given a vision
Fullfillin the commission he handed us
London to Los Angeles
Da rap evangelist
Ma daddy wouldn’t abandon us
“I gotta back pack fulla tracts plus I keep a Johnny Mac”
So are you ready to jam with us
So let’s go, gimme the word an let’s go
Persecution let’s go
Tribulation let’s go
Across the nation let’s go
Procrastination bes go
Hung on the cross in the cold
Died for da young and the old
Can’t say you never know
Heaven knows
How many souls are going to hell or to heaven so we gotta go in and get em
Whaaaaat!

Suffer
Yeah do it for Christ if you trying to figure what to do with your life
If you making money hope you doing it right because the money is Gods you better steward it right
Stay focused if you ain’t got no ride
Your life ain’t wrapped up in what you drive
The clothes you wear the job you work
The color your skin naw we Christian first
People living life for a job
Make a lil money start living for a car
Get em a house a wife kids and a dog
When they retire they living high on the hog
But guess what they didn’t ever really live at all
To live is Christ yeah that’s Paul I recall
To die is gain so for Christ we give it all
He’s the treasure you’ll find in the mall
Your money your singleness marriage talent and time
They were loaned to you to show the world that Christ is Divine
That’s why it’s Christ in my rhymes
That’s why it’s Christ all the time
My whole world is built around him He’s the life in my lines
I refused to waste my life
He’s too true ta chase
That ice
Heres my gifts and time cause I’m constantly trying to be used to praise the Christ
If he’s truly raised to life
Then this news should change your life
And by his grace you can put your faith in place that rules your days and nights.
